I edited out half the article because it was typical boring feminist fat chick propaganda.
A self absorbed donut eater like this would be shuffled aside in most asian, EE, or latin societies and treated as largely a public nuisance or comic relief. In the U.S. she's a figure of praise and to be lauded as an inspirational role model on mainstream morning news shows.

She's hardly what you can call fat by any means. So she has some cellulite. Take a good look at non-airbrushed size 2 celebrities and you'll find a ton of cellulite on them too. And for those of you who will of course say she's obese because you are just too perfect, remember that she can lose 70 lbs and still have that pesky cellulite. Diet and excercise is often not effective to getting rid of it. She looks fine, and better yet, she looks glowing and happy. That is far more than many of the bashing posters are or ever will be.
All I see in that photo are two happy and beautiful girls I wish all young ladies knew how beautiful they were, just by virtue of their youth. These girls that keep beating themselves up for not being a flawless model are all going to look back at pics of themselves in 10, 20, 30 years, and realize just how beautiful they were.

Jennifer Pastiloff, founder of The Manifest-Station, says her website, which already has a large and devoted following, has been “on fire” since Erickson’s essay was published. She says she knew the piece would strike a chord with her readers, particularly because of the writer’s age.
“If that same blog was written by someone 40, it wouldn’t have had the same effect,” Pastiloff, a frequent blogger who also leads yoga and writing retreats, tells Yahoo Shine, adding: “I didn’t have the same insight at 19 — I was severely anorexic.” The post has resonated with the public so much, she believes, “because of the self-awareness and also the lack of self-consciousness. It’s refreshing. It’s exciting to see that someone young has such a self-affirming way of being. We need more of that as women.”
Erickson appeared on the "Today" show on Tuesday to discuss her blog post, noting, “This has gone way above and beyond my wildest expectations.” The piece spoke to so many people, she believes, because “I’m my own worst critic, and I think that’s the same for a lot of other people also.” Don’t be fooled, though — the college student says her struggle with self-image is ongoing. “It’s a journey, and you have to take it in stride,” she says. “I don’t see a picture of myself and go, like, ‘Wow, this is great.’ It’s day by day, but I think with the right mentality, it gets so much easier.”
